Cover Cafe

The 2009 Romance Cover Contest results are now available online!  It's been an interesting year with the SE and CO categories having run away winners from the very beginning of the contest all the way to the finish.  And some things never change from year to year. Romance readers are a diverse group with varying tastes and someone's favorite cover or style is the next person's pet peeve.   That's why the comments are so interesting every year.

As the committee chair and Cover Cafe website coordinator, I manage and coordinate the online voting process and the results. One of my perks is being able to extract and read all the insightful voter comments so the category chairs can write their commentary.  I love reading the comments and I always learn something new about the contest finalists from the voters. 

It is a monumental task creating covers that appeal to a wide cross section of readers.  Hats off to the talented art directors and illustrators who never fail to enthrall us with at least one cover each year.  And of course, they also leave us wondering..."What were they thinking?" on a few covers that portray a "Don't" learning lesson.

Enjoy viewing the 2009 contest results and don't forget to nominate the great and the not so great 2010 covers you see throughout the year!  If you have any general contest comments, please leave them in the comment section below.    Thanks for another great year!
